I have gone through 2 SSDs in my rMBP mid 2015 (16GB RAM). This was the last model with replaceable SSDs, I believe. I am on my third now:

True that's possible if it were to get popular. But since this wasn't the popular extension, it'd seem it wasn't sold off.

I have always used The Great Discarder instead [1]

It's by the same dev too but it uses Chrome's Native Tab Discarding feature and I found it way more efficient (at the time I started using it a few years ago - haven't compared recently).

Thanks for sharing the story.

Just something interesting you might want to read into. False positives can be much higher than 0.5-4% figures, depending on how you look at it.

Out of the positive results, about 13% [1] and 25% [2] were false. In [2] 400 out of 1570 positives would be false. I have seen as high as 40% being false in other publications.

That's odd. I personally really like the Gutenberg editor for writing (and similar block-based editors like Notion). I have never experienced the lag on a dated 2015 laptop. Out of curiosity, which device you're experiencing the lag on?

This year could be mainly attributed to e-commerce growth. WordPress has WooCommerce as a plugin.

Shopify too had impressive growth this year.

I relate to this story. However, after several years, I figured the inflamed tonsils were just a side-effect of other issues. Check if you have postnasal drip, a deviated septum, or a nasal polyp. Several related chronic issues may also cause it.

That maybe only applicable to certain cases or is US-only. I was quoted ~$500 for rMBP 2015 due to swollen battery (which is entirely Apple's fault), from two of their authorized centers.

I was told they assess the extent of damage and charge based on that, but the whole top assembly is changed in any case (glued). For example, if they believe the keyboard was in good condition, you won't get charged for it (and hence the baseline $200).

It might not entirely be incorrect either. Very few deaths are officially reported but the deaths which weren't going to be reported, were of the same subset of people who never tested either, despite symptoms.

So it would be safe to assume while both the infected and fatality numbers are way off, they are at least representative. Hence, I believe the IFR isn't incorrect.

Perhaps you weren't around at the peak of blogging era when all the gurus usually running self-help blogs were preaching that writing style to aspiring bloggers. It stuck around and still is dominant in blogging - and for good reasons for certain audience.

Indeed. Or destabilize a whole region killing almost a million: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human

Being out of touch from the Linux distro world, this is rather sudden.

I still run CentOS on many of my dedicated servers (now known as bare-metal) from a decade ago. While almost everything else was all custom-built anyways, I guess the lack of core updates is going to be a problem. Though, CentOS 6 was going to reach EOL soon anyways.

Aren't there already more than 7k varieties of apples? And There are so many regional variants, it's hard to have any consistency. For instance, one specific type of red apples with a local name in my country have no equivalent in all the countries I have traveled.

P.S. It's amusing to me that it's on front-page. Apple really works at HN ;)

All about PR. Pretty sure they make the big bucks off the $1million+ earners.

Surely that's one of the many factors. The opposite is also true.

For instance, pre-election, for some niches US FB ads bids were totally out of whack. Or the fact that it's been high ever since the COVID caused eCommerce boom, globally.

And yet we'll have fans defending and arguing over something that's simply so inherently clear.

It's all about money. Everything else is just an excuse.

Some people will misinterpret the conclusion. It varies significantly by age brackets not considered in the paper.

A 40 year old would be mistaken to assume their fatality chance is 0.31%.

Seems like they have to overcompensate for the PR to appear as the good guys after all the PR damage they took lately. Nothing more, nothing less. Perfunctory privacy efforts.

That's clearly intentional to make the point. Made me appreciate the article more.

It's perfectly normal to react and criticize failures of an almost monopolistic search engine, when the good content is outranked by inferior content.

It used to be terrible due to long parsing time but over the past 5 years or so, things have really improved, even more so in v8 recently [1]. Nowadays it's safe to just focus on the overall package size. And once it goes over a certain size budget (that's over 150KB gzipped as my personal preference) split it up and ideally use the PRPL pattern.

Fair point. It does make sense if you really need to upgrade a very dated machine.

However, I am assuming since the Macbooks are rumored to get ARM as early as late this year, it is likely iMac would follow next year too. The Developer Transition Kit has a Mac Mini with ARM already.

It just feels wrong to buy anything new from Apple with "Intel Inside" - when they're clearly going to dump it soon, in favor of ARM (excuse me for not using the cringey term Apple Silicon).

But those are tunnel vision stats only considering one variable.

It's the parents that will be at risk.

> own fault or shitty behavior are not mentioned

Sure, always blame the victim.

I have had nothing but bad experience with Apple with MBPs battery swelling twice in few years, bad pixel on screen, dead SSD (again twice in few years). And I had to pay ridiculous money for it the second time. Surely it wasn't Apple's fault, right!

ASMR works well for me, most of the time (quality of ASMR matters - what's popular is just clickbait and not great content). Other times I need to meditate for a while to calm down and clear my head.

Personally, the most important thing for me is to not work or think about anything that would get me in the obsessive problem-solving or worry mode, around the bed time hours.

Someone had to speak out. But I am not sure if the list is entirely accurate. There was this news about EU travel info that's relevant: https://www.nytimes.com/article/eu-travel-ban-explained-usa....

Typical 100% coverage metric vanity with usually no real world benefits.

> If you said that in an interview for code you'd written then I'd point to the door.

And they would be better off not having to work at a place with an intolerable environment of the kind.

The real problem isn't necessarily flat vs skeuomorphism - it's the representations that are not really representative to everyone.

Try "Click that icon with the floppy disk to save." with a new user.

Depends on whether or not your opinion enrages someone with a massive herd behind them. If you offend someone with a sizable mindless drones as followers, good luck.
